Create attached services
To enable an event subscription to respond to events from your Enterprise Content Management server, you need to create an attached service that can be used to invoke a Content UCA.
It is generally recommended created an attached service at the same time as the other required components by following the instructions in the topic Subscribing to document and folder events: the end-to-end approach. This is a simpler approach than creating each component on a stand-alone basis and it automatically creates some resources that you would otherwise need to create manually.
However, you can also create an attached service on its own without any consideration for some of the other components that are required to detect and respond to ECM events. There are two kinds of attached service that you can create:
- If you want to create an attached service that will directly invoke a Content UCA without first querying the ECM server for additional information, then you should create a general system service.
- If you want to create an attached service that will first query the ECM server for additional information before determining whether a UCA should be invoked, then you should create an integration service.
Information about creating these two kinds of services is found in the topic Create a service.
